Sirius, mate, we finally got the boat working properly. we tested it this morning using the fog as cover. Haven't seen a patrol about lately, but they got all antsy after Derby and have stepped things up in general, so you can never be too careful. the starter-thingy was a little sticky, but once we got it started, it ran just fine. And quiet, too. The sails were a damn hassle, though. none of us have ever used them before, so it's taking us a while to figure out how to turn them the right way. We're working on it.

took her up about a kilometre, then brought her back safe and sound. Tomorrow night we'll take her out for a nice long time to get the feel of her.

That's all to report, really.
